It’s very hard to summarise the last 12 months at field&flower. SOUS VIDE 11
As you can imagine, we have a risk document to help us think about the challenges we GRASS-FED CHRISTMAS BEEF 12

wasn’t listed in that document. The biggest risk we’d ever unaccounted for was a few years CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS 13

working in the national health service. We also increased our support for FareShare South West,
who we’ve been working with for the past two years, donating 200,000 meals to date. You can help
us to continue supporting them with their FoodStock 2020 campaign this Christmas (see page 25).
Of course, with hospitality closing we also began supporting our free-range farmers by utilising
stock that was going to be wasted. Our farmers are the hidden heroes in this pandemic in our
opinion, and it saddens us to know they have been undermined by the recent Agricultural Bill,
despite their stoicism throughout lockdown. You can read more about Stu, our poultry farmer,
and the challenges he continues to face on page 5.
We have been planning Christmas since July and we are really looking forward to
delivering those turkeys and getting some rest! Thank you for your kind words, patience
and custom over the last 12 months, everyone at field&flower really appreciates it.
Here’s to 2021.
